What is All-on-4?

Traditional dental implant supported dentures use four to six strategically placed implant posts to support a full denture. All-on-4 dentures, as the name implies, only require four implant posts to support the full denture. This unique treatment method makes the most of naturally denser parts of the jaw to provide support for the full denture without the need for advanced, invasive preparatory grafting procedures, making it possible for a larger number of people than ever before to receive an implant supported denture.

How does All-on-4 Work?

Unlike traditional implant dentures that use vertically positioned implant posts along the entire jawline, All-on-4 dentures use strategically positioned implants that are anchored into the densest parts of the jawbone. Two implant posts are placed in vertically into the front of the jawbone. Then, two implants are placed diagonally from the back the mouth to implant into the front. This allows the entire denture to be supported without needing to build up the bone density or gum tissue volume along the entire jaw line. Instead, the areas of the jaw that have adequate supportive structure are maximized to provide the necessary anchor and stability for your full denture.

Should I Consider All-on-4 Dentures?

Anyone who has experienced advanced tooth loss should take the time to review and consider all of their available tooth replacement options to ensure they find the right restoration option to meet their unique needs. Some of the benefits of All-on-4 dentures that make them the best choice for many patients include:

Conservative implant placement – because the densest parts of the jaw are utilized to support the denture, you will not need invasive preparatory procedures like bone or soft tissue grafting, making the implant placement process much more conservative than traditional denture placement.

Long-lasting results – once in place, your All-on-4 denture will last for decades with proper care. That’s compared to a traditional denture that will need to be repaired or replaced every seven to ten years on average.

Easy to care for – you can brush your All-on-4 denture just like you would your healthy, natural smile. To improve your oral hygiene routine, you can use antimicrobial oral rinse and an air or water flosser to limit plaque buildup between the denture and gums.
